Battlefield 1 |OT2| "All Quiet on the GAF Front"
- Thread starter iRAWRasaurus
- Start date
September
I'm on my phone right now and can't find the reddit thread with the dev comments, but search westies recent YouTube video. He talks about it and links the thread in his comments. That's how I first learned about the thread, I don't read that sub very often.
Just been on the wrong end of a 269-1000 scoreline on Fort Vaux.
After some initial back and forth the winning team never lost control of a single objective. My team just got trapped on the south side of the map in a huge meat grinder at objective D.
Quite amazing to see actually. I play as medic so managed to salvage a decent round for myself just taking pot shots into holes and reviving downed players.
Nuts.

Good news, looks like the dlc will launch next week!

I expect more nerfs on some weapons that were perfectly fine
What a horrible time.
Destiny 2 is next day and Seige has also a big update. The time between the first and second dlc has been such a waste of time.

I'm glad it's finally dropping albeit way too late. BF1 is the only shooter I play online so I need some new content.

Awesome, glad it's out earlier rather than later.

Yeah, won't find the time to play this. Only on 5th september, 6th D2 starts and I'll busy for months.

Trying to cut into the competition's sales I imagine.
Don't know how effective it will be though, Destiny is a juggernaut.

Hey, how is the role distribution in BF?
I found medics to revive often enough, but rarely did people play support, and even rarer for them to drop ammo.
Do more people play support/drop ammo these days?

It feels like it to me. I usually don't have too hard of a time finding ammo.
Yes, definitely, there have been plenty of people playing support in the past few weeks. A lot more than I remember.
The official Battlefield website kinda makes it sound like the Tsaritsyn map is available right now for Premium Pass. I don't see it showing up yet in game, though
Got all excited for nothing. Guess I'll just have to wait until Tuesday for the full expansion.

Wow realy?

I play support more than any other class and I drop ammo boxes all the time. I run ammo boxes and mortars, but I recently used the crossbow again for the third Summer Mission in the Frontlines gametype and remember liking it way back when I started playing. Ammo boxes are a staple for me though.
When I play support in conquest I often run packs with limpets. I get so many tanks that way, and it's a really nice way to clear a building. I also drop packs like a mofo.

Man, I am watching the DLC news and Im seriously considering jumping back in.
I guess the Revolution edition is just such an enticing option.
One of my issues with map design was that it honestly felt like the focus was on 2-3 flags in the middle. I missed the maps from Armored Kill in BF3.
Apparently Albion is a very big map, that's spread out.
Are there any maps like that in They Shall Not Pass?
Also, it seems like I missed a lot of info.
Support has a crossbow now? Whats different compared to the Assault launchers? Does it make them viable against vehicles?
I want any excuse to see more Support, which often felt like the class least played.
And what's this about specializations?? I don't recall them existing before.

I considered getting BF1 a while back on sale but didn't. One of the reasons was that I didn't want to buy the DLC. Is the base game still alive on PC or is everybody playing on DLC maps?
Soissons, Rupture and Nivelle Nights are the biggest maps I think. Can't say much for how they play in conquest as I avoid the mode usually. Frontlines on the new maps is great though.
Frag crossbow is a decent anti infantry addition but limpets and the HE mortar is still better than the HE crossbow against vehicles.
The Chauchat LMGs are really good. Monstrous damage up close and you can burst people at ridiculous ranges. Specialisations are still a ways off - they'll come sometime after the next DLC hits, so maybe in the October patch.
Yep, it's mostly the DLC servers that are less populated. The Revolution bundle might alleviate that, but if you're fine playing the base maps, there's plenty of servers.

I keep getting disconnected mid-game on Aus PC, this time 15 minutes into a match. Game will tell me I'm bloody offline, sometimes even if I'm launching it from Origin for the first time. Google searches keep bringing up launch days issues, and I've checked firewall settings. What's going on?

Hearing DLC maps are less populated gets me upset because why buy these maps if the fracturing hurts that badly?
Also YAY THEY ARE BRINGING BACK TICKET BLEED/MAJORITY RULE CONQUEST!!

Why am I seeing only a handful of servers? 6-7 are full and have a queue and then it just drops to 40/64 or 0/64
Holy shit the current CTE build
-classic conquest is back
-Model 8 .35 can 3hk to 70m
-RSC can 2hk to 70m (or should, does no damage atm lol)
-all medic weapons are more accurate
Lots more changes, more details here > weapon stuff, legacy Conquest details

Got the second dog tag from the ARG. Puzzle was pretty good. Lots of pieces to work out. It's a silver version of the Morse code dog tag with some fancier design. Can't wait to see the end of this one cause it's way more in depth compared to BF4
I'm going to do terrible things with the AlwaysReloading 8 .35 given the extra 3 hit range and halved spread increase per shot. It's already filthy as it is.

Do you people who play on both console and PC think the skill/play gap is significant?
Because if I get this on PS4, I am playing with a huge, 70K player pool.
PC seems to go as low as 20K, and it kind of shows when I turn on the server browser and find few matches.
Yet PC is supposed to play totally differently from console version.

I don't have BF1 on PC but I did play BF3 and BF4 on PC and console and I think the experiences are likely all similar. The average BF player on console is noticeably worse than the average PC player. I'd say that's simply because there are a lot more people that just casually play it on console while the PC playerbase is smaller and maybe more dedicated. You'll still find great players on console and awful players on PC, I'm just talking about the average player.
The pace is a lot higher on PC as well simply due to how much faster you can play with a keyboard and mouse. Recoil controllability differences means gun balancing will feel different as well.
TimeEffect

Yeah pacing is a good word
Im playing the trial on pc and its certainly more frantic but i feel I can play against similar ps4 players who are competitive and smart
The speed isn't the same but that's about it
Im kind of stuck. Always played battlefield on console but I have a capable pc. I enjoy aiming with the mouse and feel the aim assist is too high on console
But out of the 20K-30K concurrent pc users, a certain will be in my region, and then theres all that map splitting
Its a crazy difference considering battlefield is supposed to be a pc game, yet the largest audience is on ps4 by a wide margin

i remember when a PS4 player switched to PC and said the top end was much higher but the average PC player was hot garbage compared to the average console player.
It was announced a couple days ago
Premium members get the full DLC on the 5th (this Tuesday). Everyone else gets access to it 2 weeks later on the 19th.
BF1's TTK is a bit weird already anyway. There are more ways to die instantly than in BF4 with bayo charges, sweet spot snipers, and powerful shotguns relative to most guns up close, etc yet most weapons do indeed take longer to kill than in BF4. It's not uncommon to have the majority of your deaths in a round come from some form of one-shot mechanic depending on the map and mode you're on. If something had to be rebalanced I would've prioritized that instead personally though I am actually ok with how things are now.

Me too you guys. I love the higher TTK, I love placing well placed shots into opponents with the rifles. I am really worried about BF4 styled TTK.
Yeah, that's what I seem to get, but the PC population seems dwarfed to the point that I worry about finding games I like
The aim assist on consoles is gross and over the top. Cant believe DICE thought it would be acceptable
Must have missed that - thanks for the heads up.

Same, have been playing some of the CoD Beta and I hate how low the TTK is.
